The Cartographersĺ Guild is a forum created by and for map makers and aficionados, a place where every aspect of cartography can be admired, examined, learned, and discussed. Our membership consists of professional designers and artists, hobbyists, and amateursŚall are welcome to join and participate in the quest for cartographic skill and knowledge.

Although we specialize in maps of fictional realms, as commonly used in both novels and games (both tabletop and role-playing), many Guild members are also proficient in historical and contemporary maps. Likewise, we specialize in computer-assisted cartography (such as with GIMP, Adobe apps, Campaign Cartographer, Dundjinni, etc.), although many members here also have interest in maps drafted by hand.

If this is your first visit, be sure to check out the FAQ. You will have to register before you can post or view full size images in the forums.

J÷r­gar­ Map of Week #147 - Hidden Tower Complex

With the 147th Map of the Week we take a look at the Hidden Tower complex of the Red Draug Wizardess Aldinborg and her red draug seer Jˇninna in the north central part of the Dark Hills.

Key to the Map of the Hidden Tower Complex

1. Source Spring of Gold Creek.

2. Gold Creek.

3. SigurgrÝmur's Cave. Aldinborg speculates that this deep, spiraling cave once was a part of the waterways system that has been reduced to Gold Creek today. The great and evil male dragon SigurgrÝmur dwells at the bottom of the cave. The contents of his lair are unknown. Martr÷­ gave SigurgrÝmur to Aldinborg and also assigned his domination to her. He was intended to be her servant, but she never really has had need for his talents. When SigurgrÝmur is particularly hungry, Aldinborg does allow him to go out at times to hunt a human meal. However, he is not allowed to fly over settled areas. Logging camps in the Black Hills are fair game. The Slovanians are well aware that a dragon that occasionally attacks logging camps lives somewhere in the hills, although they know not where. This knowledge makes them all the more frightened of the Dark Hills.

4. Red Draugs' Tower. Both Aldinborg and Jˇninna lair and have their magic laboratories and chambers in this structures. It is 80 feet/24 m in diameter and 150 feet/45 m high.

5. Storage Shed.

6. Quarters and Stable. The three dark rider draugs, ┴bj÷rn and J÷rundur, males, and Fri­veig, a female, lair here. The stable houses their three night steeds.
